Ep. 17 The Weekly: The Art of Disagreement

Thinker Sensitive

In this edition of The Weekly, Ryan provides 7 practical tips for maintaining and developing friendships amidst profound disagreement.

"Dealing with disagreements well really revolves around this classical ethical imperative that we call the 'Golden Rule': treat others the way that you want to be treated; engage with others the way that you would want to be engaged with; disagree with others the way that you would want them to disagree with you. If I strive to follow this maxim, I will most likely avoid poor engagement with alternative views and divergent opinions."
